About your pickleball coach
I am a pickleball player, former health and fitness coach, and currently working in a private practice as an associate clinical mental health therapist. Pickleball is a sport I value for its creativity, physical challenge, and its ability to both quiet and challenge the mind. In my coaching, I go beyond advanced pickleball technique by integrating the mental side of the game. I represented the Czech Republic at the 2025 Pickleball World Cup Championship in Fort Lauderdale and designed a pickleball-based therapy program for teens with anxiety and depression—helping players build confidence, focus, and resilience both on and off the court.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson is about creating a safe, encouraging, and fun learning environment. I start by getting to know the player’s goals, athletic background, and any concerns or anxieties around learning a new sport. We focus on fundamentals—grip, basic stroke mechanics, court positioning, and simple rallying—while emphasizing confidence and comfort on the court. I normalize mistakes and introduce simple mindset tools (breathing, focus cues) to reduce pressure and build early success.
Lesson 2-3In lessons two and three, we build consistency and confidence. Players work on serves, returns, volleys, and controlled rallies, along with basic footwork and court awareness. I introduce beginner-friendly drills that reinforce repetition without overwhelm. We also focus on managing nerves, staying present, and learning how to reset mentally after mistakes—skills that help players enjoy the game while improving faster.
Lesson 4-10During lessons 4–10, players develop solid fundamentals and begin to understand strategy. We work on dinking, transition zone play, shot selection, and positioning in both singles and doubles. Drills become more game-like, and match play is gradually introduced. I emphasize confidence under pressure, emotional regulation, and building resilience during points—helping players trust their skills and play more relaxed and intentional pickleball.
Lesson 11+Ongoing lessons are personalized based on the player’s goals. We refine technique, improve consistency, and deepen strategic understanding. Players learn how to manage competitive stress, stay mentally engaged during games, and develop a pre-point routine that supports focus and confidence. My goal is not just better pickleball, but a player who feels empowered, resilient, and excited to keep growing on the court.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonThe first session is an assessment-based lesson. I evaluate technique, shot selection, footwork, patterns of play, and decision-making under pressure. We identify strengths, inefficiencies, and mental habits that may be limiting performance. I also assess how the player manages stress, momentum shifts, and errors. By the end of the lesson, the player has a clear performance focus and a customized training plan targeting both technical and mental aspects of their game.
Lesson 2-3Lessons two and three focus on targeted skill refinement and pattern development. We work on advanced dinking, speed-ups, resets, transition play, and countering attacks. Drills are game-specific and pressure-based to simulate real match situations. I introduce mental performance tools such as pre-point routines, emotional regulation, and focus strategies to help players execute consistently under stress.
Lesson 4-10During lessons 4–10, training becomes highly intentional and competitive. We refine shot selection, anticipation, court positioning, and partner communication. Players learn how to manage momentum, adapt mid-game, and maintain confidence during long rallies or high-pressure points. Live play, video feedback (if available), and situational drills are used to sharpen tactical awareness.
Lesson 11+
Ongoing lessons are fully personalized and performance-driven. Training focuses on consistency at speed, strategic depth, and mental endurance in competitive environments. Players develop strong mental routines, emotional control, and confidence in their decision-making.
